I am sorry we cannot seem to convince you that this IS NOT an EASY thing to do. ESPECIALLY with yorkies. Do you know the cost of a c-section? Yorkies are MANY times more likely to need one. MINE DID! I also lost all 3 babies of my first litter and I had a mentor who had been breeding for 30 years. The daddy was smaller than my female which is a good idea with these little guys so they don't have babies too big for them. The babies were less than 2 ounces and I am ashamed to say I lost all 3 as they were too tiny. I read and read and studied and asked questions and was so ready for it. I had my whelping area set up just like my breeder taught me... heating pad, etc... learned how to swing a puppy so it doesn't drown in it's own fluids.. I was SO ready. AND I LOST ALL THREE!! I was devestated! I cried for myself and I cried for my mommy who cried for her babies. Are you ready for that heartache? Those babies she free whelped since they were so tiny. She had one more litter... this time the daddy was bigger and NOT the stud I had planned on. She ended up having 2 beautiful babies which I kept, but that was after $1200 for a c-section, plus $150 for x-rays, then the costs to remove dew claws, and dock the tails..... I had her spayed then because I do not want her to have to go thru that again and I love her enough that I want to enjoy her for years. I know this is not going to change your mind, but I will tell you good luck... I don't think you are going to have much luck here with anyone telling you it is the RIGHT thing to do. I feel for your baby. I just know you have no idea what you are getting into and it is a shame she doesn't have a say in it. If you love your baby so much.. why would you put her thru that when you aren't even respecting her purebred status by mixing her breed. Like someone said, there are so many MUTTS alrready.. WHY would anyone intentionally BREED to get more MUTTS??
I really am not trying to be rude and I really do wish you luck.
